  1. Re:You got fired... on James Damore Explains Why He Was Fired By Google (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    No, it's all the whining about the consequences that sucks the *nobility* out of it.

  2. Re:Why Damore is wrong on James Damore Explains Why He Was Fired By Google (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    You are still subscribing to a logical fallacy. When you are talking about (or to), the woman in front of you applying for a job, then invoking 'because averages' *is* 100% gender discrimination.

  3. Re:The mind is very powerful on Is the End of Government Acceptance of Homeopathy In Sight? · · Score: 1

    I have horrible headaches but realising it is all in my head was of no help whatsoever.

  4. Re:I am reminded of pigs and engineers here on Watch Bill Nye and Ken Ham Clash Over Creationism Live · · Score: 1

    Strange definition of "reasonable".

  5. Re:Ooops on Aussie Reserve Bank Eyeing eBay's PayPal Policy · · Score: 1

    Like a monotreme...? The only problem we have with platypuses is they generally die before the trial. Ahem. Platypii perhaps...
  6. Simplistic on Reconciling Information Privacy and Liberty? · · Score: 1

    All this might even be true assuming that people are *really* that simplistic in their views and reasoning.

  7. Re:e-books suck on Notebooks Replace Textbooks in Texas · · Score: 1

    Depends on your reading software. Mircosoft's reader lets you do this, including linking bookmarks etc. I have become a firm fan of electronic books. I don't buy texts anymore, I use O'reilly's Safari. No more texts that are completely out of date...

  8. Fine for an injunction on SCO Fined in Munich For Linux Claims · · Score: 1

    I may be wrong, but from the translation it seems to me that SCO is being fined for breaching an injunction. If that is the case then it has no bearing on their guilt or innocence (as much as we might like it to...)

  9. It's funny.... on Executing a Mass Departmental Exodus in the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    We wouldn't have even been having this conversation two years ago. The wheel turns....

  10. Why should they? on Google Tries To Silence IPO Rumours · · Score: 1
    If the company is profitable, and they have no real need to raise money, why should they?

    To make the market less anxious - that's an exercise in futility... To save the sector - bit late for that I would have said...

  11. No way on Linux Xbox Project Seeks Microsoft Signature · · Score: 1

    There is no way that any company is going to sign a third party developed OS without testing it themselves. If they sign it, the first customer to have something go wrong will be on the phone to Microsoft. Why buy the headache?

  12. Re:Barking up the wrong tree on Competition To Find Aussie PM's Email Address · · Score: 1

    The Australian PM wants to send troops to "help". Most Australians seem to object to this rather strongly. Nothing to do with what Americans will or will not do.

  13. Re:Linus on Top Ten Software Innovators? · · Score: 1

    I would have said that his project management was innovative. He basically runs the biggest development group in the world where no-one gets paid.

    Think about it....

  14. Re:This isn't entirely Verisign's fault on VeriSign DNS in Trouble · · Score: 1
    Given Verisign's attempt to invoice me for a domain that is not registered with them, I'd be happy with any excuse to prevent them from selling domain names ever again.

    I no longer use them - for certificates or domain name registrations. I transferred everything elsewhere.

  15. Re:Bad programmers don't change. on Motivating Your Co-Developers? · · Score: 1

    All of the above is excellent advice. Focus on getting the team to meet the deadline. No matter how good a coder is, a person who "who works better by themselves" will *never* be more effective (read *valuable*) than the person who can make a team click.
